Well I'm 25weeks pregnant and starting to worry. Im not sure where to post this :(.

Just wandering what other people have done in my position I have 2dd. They are 4 and 2 but have been sleeping in separate bedrooms. We are having a boy this time so thought we would put both dd's in the same room so they don't feel pushed out when baby is here.
Well its not going so good I've put youngest down 1st but the oldest wakes her when she goes up so I've tried other way round and that doesn't work. So resorted putting them up together.

My problem is they are both in beds youngest in toddler and my oldest has a midi sleeper. I've had to resort to putting youngest on mattress on flooor as they were jumping from bed to bed :(. Now she just climbs onto the bigger bed and jumps on that and she's fell of a few times. Would you take the midi sleeper out and let them both sleep on mattress on floor until

Sorry didn't finish as I'm on my phone.

Would you let them sleep on mattresses on the floor until the youngest is safe to go in a bottom bunk. I'm just at my wits end and really don't want youngest hurting herself.

Again sorry if posted in wrong place still not used to here on my phone x

Unfortunately if they get used to sleeping on the floor together they may end up playing up even more and could get used to it, giving you problems again if/when you try to put them back into beds. I would try and persever a bit longer if you can - I have x4 girls in the one room aged 12, 9, 4 & 3 and at first it was a nightmare trying to sort out who went to bed when and them waking each other up! We have now found that putting the younger two down together first works best and if they have behaved well that day we let them watch a video as a treat which often works wonders because they nod off whilst watching it. It gives them a reason to want to go to bed nicely and not play up as otherwise it gets turned off! Good luck and I hope you find something that works for you.

ps) If your worried about the little one falling off the bottom bunk you can buy cheap sides that attach on to any bed for that purpose - if memory serves I think Argos do them.x

hi im in a similar position, although 2ds aged 7 & 3, we decorated youngest ds room the month we fell pg!! we got a set of bunk beds wheni was about 3 months with the intention of them sharing, however to start off with they didn't get on kept waking each other up, little one knows he's not allowed on the top, and that if he does he'll fall off and hurt himself, we put him back in his room and wasn't concerned as baby would be in with us, so knew there was no real rush, as it was he decided to go in there and stays in bed they go bed together and my eldest always goes straight to sleep, my youngest has also starting sleeping better and ocassionaly went back in the other room. I've know sold his bed but not changed things round but have talked about girls going in there so he's sort of got used to it know, i would get one of those guards if your worried, but have to say i put ds in big boy bed at around 2 and we've never had a problem, don't worry about it and just don't rush things :)
